What others have to say

Here are just some of the comments we’ve received from family, friends and residents at Cathkin House care home.

It is a very welcoming environment, always spotless, very clean and recently decorated. They staff are lovely... they really get to know the residents and pay attention to what they like and dislike, for example with the menu… if someone doesn't like the menu choices that day they will go out of their way to make something they like.

Relative of a resident, March 2024

She can be trying sometimes and the staff take their time with her and show so much compassionate, they really understand how to deal with her. There are plenty of activities put on in the home and they try to find something suitable for everyone... my loved one likes music so they put things on that she is more likely to get involved with and enjoy.

Relative of a resident, March 2024

The home is very well run and the ethos is very resident focused. The staff are very caring and they clearly think a lot of the residents… they go out of their way to engage with each and every resident.

Relative of a resident, March 2024

To all at Cathkin House, especially on the Skye unit, our grateful thanks for the care and support given to Mum during her short stay.

Relative of a resident, February 2024

A massive thank you to the wonderful carers at Cathkin House. The carers are cheery and always have a smile for the residents and visiting family, and are always approachable to listen to any concerns we may have. We always feel relaxed when visiting Alice and are able to use any of the social areas and have a coffee.
